The electromyography (EMG) has the capacity of many uses in the clinical setting for gait analysis in the diagnosis of neural muscular disorders such as cerebral palsy. This method was chosen in our experiment to record and examine the electrical activity of the skeletal muscle during gait movement during treadmill and over ground walking. In our experiment we specifically looked at the lower extremity with overactive quadriceps and underactive. Common to use to EMG to identify precisely when a specific muscle is activated during the movement
We used surface EMG we carefully cleaned the surface of the skin with alcohol pads, then the electrodes were attached onto the skin on the lower extremity of the subject. On both legs, one
